Senator: Military Concerned Obama Does Not Have Their Back After Benghazi Attack (Video)

Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, November 2, 2012, 8:43 AM

Senator Pat Roberts (R-KS), a former Marine, told Greta Van Susteren last night that at every town hall he’s held this month veterans want to know more about the Benghazi massacre and coverup. Roberts said he is concerned the military no longer trusts that Obama has their back after he left the SEALs in Benghazi to die without any air support.

[A 3 1/2-hour firefight under way and our chopper flew in with an AC-130 gunship in the air, two H-64s and they were not allowed to give any pre-assault fire. They landed the chopper like it was landing at Wal-Mart even though a firefight was underway.
When the chopper was shot down, neither were the AC-130 or the two AH-64s allowed to take out the savages who fired the RPGs because they were standing on a tower. And under the rules of engagement, they didn’t know if there might be friendlies in the building. These rules of engagement are criminal for our warriors....]http://coffeeandsleeplessnights.wordpress.com/2012/10/16/military-families-are-outing-obama/

Just ask any serviceperson, cadet or parent of a cadet at one of our military academies. Our service people are bound by an honor code and will defend each other, even if their life is at risk. They have each other’s backs. They now know, our President does not have theirs.

Barack Obama hid under his desk when the tough moment came. He’s “Old Yellow Stains” Captain Queeg, of The Cain Mutiny, who was indecisive, paranoid, blamed everyone else for “missing strawberries” and was recognized as unfit for command of the nation and its military long before Benghazi. But this event illuminated dangerous behavior, where he fled the scene, refused to convene the counterterrorism panel as they’d certainly be critical of his blowing off all his intelligence briefings and have the expertise to call his decisions into command.

Very likely, there may have been a recommendation that Joe Biden replace the commander in chief as Mr. Obama was unfit to serve (of course, the thought of a deranged, angry, grumpy, drunk Uncle Joe leading things is equally terrifying, but it is the chain of command).

We pray the people of our nation remove this remarkably unfit individual from his office and send him into retirement, replacing him with competent leadership. Even if your issues are getting free handouts, the nation is so unsafe that the certainty of government welfare is now at risk with a commander in chief hiding under his desk.

Wow, it only took some of the military 4 years to figure that one out (the ones who voted for Barky, especially the GOFOs). Of course certain generals (cough Colin Powell cough) still haven’t figured it out. Of course both are products of affirmative action.

We were attacked on 9/11/2001 by al qaida. Eleven years later to the day we were attacked by our own president. Whatever the reason and regardless of genuine mistakes, it’s quite clear the president is involved in something criminal and hurtful to our national security and didn’t want anybody to know anything about it.

The US military will endure everything they’re told to, but they should not be following orders from a traitor.

And for the record most of the military has been wary of Obama since day one.

SEALs Team Six was used to kill some poor shmuck as OBL has been dead for a number of years. The Rules of Engagement in Afghanistan put our troops at risk and I believe is responsible for the terrible rise in loss of life.

My Youngest son is serving over seas, I get a lump in my stomach every time I hear about what happened in Libya, and consider who the CIC is for my boy and all others who are serving us. They deserve better. It is infuriating to know that this president only supports our troops when he can score political points. He does not and will never understand the special relationship that the president must have with those who serve.

Sadly, not all of them Academy Dad. Reports are that the second-in-command was pretty darned quick to arrest General Ham when he gave the order to ride to the rescue in Benghazi.
